Let's drink all night and talk about what inevitably happens when you ignore critical race theory

If you've ever wondered whether everyone on the right is racist, this one's for you

Partying All Night With the Anti-Woke Right at CPAC
Young conservatives can't decide what the new "cancer" of liberalism is, exactly. But they are determined to cure it.

No paywall


After my two pathetic failed attempts to sneak into the VIP area of the 3NINE nightclub for the Kick Off CPAC Weekend party in Orlando, Florida, the bouncer took pity on me and waved me through anyway. I left the dark pulsing fluorescence of the interior and emerged into the soft night air of the swank poolside bar. Beneath the palm trees, enraptured fans jockeyed for drinks and snapped selfies with various right-wing celebrities.

I had arrived too late, apparently, to catch Michael Flynn, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jack Posobiec, or many of the other far-right luminaries promised by the event flier. But Madison Cawthorn made an appearance flanked by handlers as James O’Keefe chatted with fans by the bar. Down by the pool, a hand-painted custom motorcycle straight from a 12-year-old’s classroom doodles stretched resplendent in front of a One America Motorsports media backdrop. Its handler cautioned me not to scratch the intricate hand-painted American flag detailing or the oddly Clintonesque Trump portrait as I climbed aboard the chopper for a photo.

I saw Lady MAGA USA from across the bar as I climbed down. She was impossible to miss—seven feet tall, at least—with voluminous blonde hair and meticulous padding and a blue tulle dress any Disney princess would be proud to wear. Lady MAGA, a.k.a. Ryan Woods, lamented the Florida heat as she kindly posed for a photo with me. “I want to make America great again!” the drag artist declared cheerfully as I bade her farewell. “Not gay again.”

“My rights should never infringe on the rights of anyone else,” the drag artist told The Washington Examiner earlier that day after explaining her opposition to gender-affirming care for trans children. “Just because you’re gay and just because you’re different does not mean you have to join the communist left and hate this country and attack everyone else in the name of victimhood.”

2. But isn't hating the country and attacking everyone else

...in the name of victimhood EXACTLY what the right is doing?

Typical conservative... ALL projection, ALL if the time.
